Improved Thread Preview 1.0
 

¿What this do?
vBulletin already have a thread preview. But only works fine
with IE, and: i don't use IE.
Mozilla Firefox (gecko engine) shows only some characters for
the preview, and not the limit that you put on admincp in
"Length of Thread Preview Text" inside of Forum Display
Options.

So, this DHTML replace the actual thread preview for a
working one in FF1+ (and netscape) IE5+ and Opr7+

See and example jpg attached to the zip file.
The colors and font size are automatic set direct from the
style of your board. The lenght of the preview (in
characters) are controlled from the same setting of the old
threads preview inside the AdminCP.

sounds good, can have you got a firefox screenshot?

That screenshot is from firefox :rolleyes:

good effort but I would like to point out that this will actually BLOAT your forumdisplay...

1. bandwidth will definately increase (will only hurt if you have many hits to forumdisplay)
2. browser rendering time will increase (extra html code will slow the rendering of forumdisplay on client side)

My first attempt hack.
So... I kill myself right now :nervous:

every day we learn something new

my intentions wasn't to put the hack down ... but to make you aware of the issues

the hack could still be used on sites that do not have high traffic

sorry nevermind i get what you mean now.

i installed it and the page loads quick. good work

Sorry, thats just not true, it does work with firefox, the problem is Firefox has a rendering issue with the alt tag :p

TAke it up with the firefox devs
